I'm a 22 year old student who is 5'11" and 280lbs. I used to be a dancer, very slender and toned before I killed my knees dancing. I am now overweight, and don't want to be. I need help creating a safe exercise and eating plan. Can anyone give me some good guidelines to start with???

This kind of depends on what you have access to. First and foremost how are your eating habits? You should be eating about 5 small meals a day consisting of lean protein and complex carbs, also are you properly hydrated?
As far as exercise ideally you want a program thhat includes both cardio and strength training. You should be exercising at least 3 days a week. Just 30 minutes is perfect.
If you have any more questions feel free to contact me.

The South Beach "diet." but don't make it a diet please. Consider this a lifestyle change. South Beach style can be adapted for life. Cutting down on sugars, choosing the right kinds of carbs. It is a very good, very healthy meal and you will see results within 2-3 weeks. Try this first, you punch in a bunch of info about yourself: http://www.southbeachdiet.com/index3.asp
Then go with this. You can afford it if you choose some of the products that aren't too fancy. And walk a lot, at least 30-45 minutes a day without stopping.
